Choosing a career can be hard. What are your priorities: your passions? The money? What your parents want? In an ideal world, all three of these should align and intersect. That is where your career will be. But in reality, nothing works that way. Some people prioritize their enjoyment over the money, while others put more weight to the number of zeros behind the dollar sign and number, and others do what their parents have told them to do. Thankfully, my parents have helped me nurture my interests rather than force a career onto me, and I've chosen to prioritize what I want to do rather than the money involved. I want to become a photographer.
